    Explanation
    A unit rate is a rate that compares a quantity to a single unit of measure. It allows for easy comparison and understanding by expressing the rate in terms of one unit. For example, if the rate is 60 miles per hour, it means that for every hour, the distance traveled is 60 miles.
